1.

This is our core, and has been for years, not something we’ve moved into due to slow conditions in the larger corporate segment or the public markets.

For the better part of two decades, Sapient's principals have been executives, directors and investors in private companies, as well as advisors, in a wide range of situations, transactions and financial market/economic cycles. All of this provides us with a unique pool of experience and insight to bring to any new situations for our clients.

2.

Top-flight technical backgrounds, training and work experience.

Sapient’s principals have received top-grade technical training including certification as Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs), Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Chartered Business Valuators (CBVs), and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the University of Chicago’s internationally top-ranked Booth School of Business with majors in Finance and Accounting (MBA).

Top-Quality Work

4.

Conduct ourselves with professionalism and integrity at all times.

Our extensive experience with transaction processes and protocols has imbued in us the importance of respecting commercial sensitivity and always acting with discretion and enforcing appropriate confidentiality in all our dealings.

This is particularly critical in today’s hypercompetitive business environment.

We are dedicated to building long-term relationships of trust with our clients.

5.

Complimentary combination of talents and experience.

We are former CEOs, private equity fund managers, and top-ranked equity analysts, as well as senior investment bankers, merchant bankers and strategic advisors.

Collectively deep with respect to insight and experience.

Not just “deal guys”. Have been on both sides of the negotiating table.

Extensive personal networks relevant to private companies, including traditional and non-traditional lenders and investors, and a wide variety of other professional service providers to private companies.

We use our practical experience on both sides of the table to ensure that our clients experience minimal distraction in the transaction process to ensure that management does not lose focus on its core business and operations.
